CODT Editor Paul Burns:

I began to work with survivors of torture in October 2000 and this stimulated my interest in extreme events and reactions to them. CODT is a way of helping me learn more about trauma. There are many great resources already on the web but I wanted something to help me quickly find unfamiliar terms and to remind me of the key ideas of a concept.
